V to Y lip augmentation and lip lift? (Photo)

Question

Hi i am interested in the v to y lip augmentation and a lip lift either together or the lip lift after the v to y surgery. I have always had very thin lips. To try to get bigger lips I did fat grafting twice and some did take but I still want more fullness. I also have a hard time finding surgeons who are experienced with the v to y surgery so comments welcome. I provided a pic of my lips currently with two sessions of fat grafting and what my desired results or something similar in fullness.

Most doctors will start with one-syringe to avoid overfilling. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. PDO NovaThreads can also be used to improve shape and also provide lift. Fat or implants are a permanent alternative. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Round 2 would be either V to Y lip enhancement or fillers to thicken upper lip and shape it as in wish picture. Best to virtual consult with...
